Birling Gap Cliff Fall
I have just noticed news reports of a cliff fall at Birling Gap (see post of 21 November 2013). Apparently, about it has a depth of about 3m, but there is no indication of the length of the fallen section. We have had heavy rainfall over the last three weeks with stormy conditions and high tides so it is not clear the extent to which the decline in beach shingle will have had on effect in causing this. I will try to post before and after photos when we have been for a visit - which might not be for a few weeks. There has also been a spectacular fall at Rock-a-Nore near Hastings with a video posted on the BBC website.
